The Seven dirty words are seven English words that comedian George Carlin listed in his 1973 monologue "Filthy Words" that where generally considered at the time inappropriate for use on the public airwaves in the United States, particularly on over-the-air television and radio stations. The original list of seven Carlin listed are:

* shit
* piss
* fuck
* cunt
* cocksucker
* motherfucker
* tits

Carlin later expanded his original list to include the following words:

* fart
* turd
* twat

Since then Carlin's expansion of the list has included hundreds of words and phrases, including "beating the bishop," "yodeling in the gully," and the ever popular "Mongolian Cluster Fuck."
